Which is what elite managers like Rafa do in the pursuit of success and excellence. We don't have an elite manager any more though. There is no pursuit of success or excellence allowed at NUFC.

Honestly how do some people still care? Like, what is the actual point of this season (or this club for that matter)? Best case scenario is we stay up, and Bruce and Ashley take the credit for a 'great season'. Worst case...well, that's what I'm hoping to see unfold. Disclaimer: I guess I still do care, I just see defeat after defeat after defeat as good for the club in the long run.

Boom.

How the fuck is that not a penalty? We're destined to win this sadly.

says it all about Ashley's club.

I was right, it's going to be far too close for my liking.

'Too close for my liking' and 'close' are 2 separate things, for the avoidance of doubt.

Im guessing he's in the crash and burn camp. Theres nothing left to support. Whats the point in cheering Bruce on with the ultimate aim of staying up in 17th place as a successful season? A successful season for Ashley, yes. A successful season for NUFC? No, another disastrous year where we fall even further behind other clubs for no other reason than that's what Mike wants.

Got a feeling this is gonna be too close for my liking. Hopefully Liverpool can get an early goal and go from there.

Mans clearly a psychopath. The whole situation with SD at the minute is a complete joke to him, just like NUFC has always been.

Can't wait for it, I've really enjoyed watching Liverpool play so far this season.

Nobody could have predicted this was going to happen. Tbf he wasn't signed to play, it was more of a stunt to get fans onside, much in the way Bruce being a Geordie was a caclulated move for the same reason. They were/are both such shit moves that you have to wonder about the sanity and levels of intelligence of anyone who it got even slightly onside. There's still 40k plus turning up every week isn't there? Yep unbelievably. My comments apply to each and every one of them.

I just hope he's died. I'm pretty much resigned to the fact he's here till he dies. Or retires. Whichever comes first. that won't be the end of our nightmare though. He hates us so much that he'll make sure we suffer for generations.

Absolutely. Whatever their individual reasons, or what has compelled them to see fit to stop going, couldn't give a monkeys chuff. Just as long as more and more stop feeding MA it's good news. It would be nice to see fans groups have some principles though for me. Do what's right.

I'm still gobsmacked that so many fell for it the last time. It was clearly all bollocks. But anyone expressing doubt was called a loon or 'flat Earther' was the one I believe. On the plus side it's made disassociating from the club that bit easier.

Exactly my point. Have some fucking principles.

Need to call for a boycott of the club as a whole. Even if only a small amount turn their backs, it's on top of a sizeable number who already have, and more will join once the ripple effect spreads. Easy for me to say as at the minute I'm completely out, but some self respect and backbone has to be shown after so many years of meekness I feel. Also, who the fuck are Toon for Change? There are so many different groups it's a complete joke.

Same. I still looked at the team at 2pm to judge but I feel nothing when we score or concede. Same, I still haven't even bothered to watch the highlights and don't know if I actually will bother or not.

I've found that's exactly what I want to happen to us. Keep losing until the club costs Ashley money. No-one knows what happens after that, but going along as we are is hell.

Fuck them. This has made my day, what were they honestly expecting?

They've got Ben Foster in goal. Any team can come back into it ffs.

How many empty seats? Hopefully not just people turning up late either.
